Lisnarabia

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

On a S-facing slope in grassland. Oval rath (66m N-S; 56m E-W), in fair condition, defined by a bank and external fosse. The bank is present from SW through N to SE, and the fosse survives from SW through W to N and at SE. The latter has been quarried out from N to E; quarrying has also encroached upon the monument at S. Centrally placed within the interior is a circular grassed-over stone structure (diam. 4.7m); probably a house site. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 10 October 2016
Lisnarabia, Abbeyland Great is an oval early-medieval ringfort, likely dating to between the 6th and 10th centuries AD, situated on a south-facing slope. While specific folklore is not recorded, its name may reflect a later association with monastic or ecclesiastical activity, given the "Abbeyland" element in its title.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
